Minute’s silence to mark anniversary of London Bridge terror attack

A minute’s silence will be held on June 3 to mark a year since the London Bridge and Borough Market terrorist atrocity.

Eight people were killed as a van ploughed into people on the bridge before the three attackers carried out a knife rampage in Borough Market, an area full of bars and restaurants where people were enjoying a Saturday night out.

The perpetrators – Khuram Butt, 27, Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 22 – were shot dead by police.
